Oh ok, aging is what makes Americans fat at 43 while women in most other countries don’t blow up. Bc American women are aging



Said by absolutely nobody. Nice knocking down a strawman.

American women who train for muscle mass and who end that training, and who age a decade and a half, are going to almost invariably add significant weight, even without changing their diet at all.

That's a completely different claim.

No it really doesn’t. 40 year olds bring fat and gross is a very modern thing

Getting fat is 100% on you the human being not controlling your eating. It doesn’t “just happen” with age



No, it very literally does. It is called metabolic decline, and strikes everyone with age.

You can change absolutely nothing about your diet-- down to the calorie, the nutrient content, the time of day you eat--- and what fuels you as a younger and leaner person perfectly, without excess, will, in the course of time, become a net caloric gain compared to what your body consumes.

40 year olds being gross and fat isn't a modern thing. The existence of a system that allowed for the survival of fat 40 year olds, is the modern thing.

Aging doesn’t make you eat way more calories than you burn


It very literally does just that; it is a process that accelerates the older you get. The loss of muscle mass is another key, so you combine that *with* aging 16+ years, and yeah.
Isn't it amazing how someone doesn't look the same at 43 as they did at 27?

Really. Metabolism and age are things that affect most human beings.
Since the question is career, not who was the better player, Eli had the better career.

You want to say Brees is easily the better player, you'll get no serious argument-- but that isn't what the question is.

If we assume you're correct, it begs the question why traveling is called differently in youth leagues, high school, college etc. Where most people's basketball experience lies.


One, the rule is slightly different for both FIBA and the NBA--

But more importantly, because there aren't athletes like that at every level of basketball. If your local yokel was *capable* of doing that, they likely would. The level of ability becomes a big separator on how easy it is to officiate things cleanly. You ever notice that the smaller and slower the action, the cleaner the officiating tends to become? It isn't an accident.
Half the distance, way more money, and a modern facility....

Gee, I wonder what they could possibly be thinking, trying to improve on every substantive front at once like that.
Hell no.

People take for granted that the most innovative period in human history is a perpetual normal state- innovation as you saw from 1985 to 2025 has been an explosive abberration.

The good news is that you'll still have innovation, but it will be much more pedestrian than revolutionary. Throw in an economic environment where capital markets are increasingly squeezed, and funding super innovation is going to slow across the board until the Baby Boomers die off.
Covid continues to do quiet work to eliminate the obese as well, even if not as much as GLP1s.

told officers that he had been hiding in his ex-girlfriend's daughter's closet after sneaking into the home, drinking, and waiting to "surprise" her with flowers, money, and cocaine


The way this reads almost makes it sound like he snuck into the daughter's closet with the intention of surprising the daughter, which is an entirely different level of messed up.

Anyone else think it’s kinda wild how all these meteors and things from space, always seem to go into Russia?


It spans 12 time zones and about half the northern hemisphere by land area. No, I don't think it is wild at all, that a vastly underdeveloped area with low light pollution, and decent media penetration has a disproportionate share of such sightings.

I admit it would be hilarious and glorious if Beef there died because he was lead ventilated by the angry Crossfitter husband of some broad he was banging.

If a man has to defend himself against a woman, he's failed as a man.

If she's being a bitch, he didn't take care of his business.
If she's psycho and he didn't recognize it, its his own goddanged fault.
If she's psycho and he recognized it, it is the consequence for getting it wet.

If she's properly squared away, and he's doing his part? He should never need to raise a hand.

To be such a small southern state, the NW part has a pile of commies


You mean that bedrock area that has voted Republican since Reconstruction, and that hasn't been held by a Democrat for even a single term since 1966, that slapped down Bill Clinton in one of his two ever electoral defeats.

Yeah, its NWA that's somehow the problem. Not the morass of the Delta or Central Arkansas, that have decades of terrible results.

It takes a true Little Rock progressive chucklefrick to say NWA is the problem.

So will the IRA resurrect themselves and take care of business over there?


The violent ones would have to A)Stop Drug dealing, and B) completely reverse 40 years of their political leadership being among the foremost advocates of this stuff.

Neither is happening. If you think the IRA/Sinn Fein/etc has the interests of Ireland for the Irish at heart.....you can't really miss the mark more than that.

Overrated: St. Louis Cardinals. "Best Fans in Baseball" - easy when your team has almost always been good to great historically. Suddenly, they have a few mediocre/bad years and that the fan support plummets. 19th in average fans per game this season.


If you want proof of how bad Cardinals fans really are, look at the ones that nominate them for the most underrated in threads like these. The amount of self-congratulation Cardinals fans have would choke a Yankees and Cowboys fan.

You can't pick a worse stripe of sports fan.

Her songs won't even be played or relevant 30 years from now. The Beatles, Aerosmith, Elvis, James Brown, Prince, Michael Jackson etc.... all had songs that lasted the test of time because they were good SONGS, not some bubble gum crappy pop like Taylor Swift sings.


People really need to learn the difference between 'I don't like it', and 'this is bad' -- her music is safely in the category of not for me, and I'll never understand it.

She has shite 20 years old now, and it is still played.
